I have now gone and bought Office 2007. it might be worth mentioning to people that if you go onto the Microsoft website and type in Ulitmate Steal you can get Office 2007 for about £38 (if you just download it) and, I think, I paid an extra £8 to get it sent as a CD, but it’s the full version of Office which normally costs £600.

It’s much better than the old one [Word 2003] – especially for things like referencing, which is always the bane of everyone’s life. What you can do is you basically create a list of all the references you’ve got. Then when you write a sentence you want to add a reference to that sentence, you just click on the list of things, select the one you want – it puts them in. If you alter the position of sentences, it alters the position of it in referencing. You can pick what style of referencing you want. So, you basically fill in a table of information about this, say, book you’re using (so it’s the title, the author, the year, and all of those details) and then you pick the style of referencing you want. It then adjusts the position of the title, the author, etc for the reference. It can put them ether numerically so the one you pick first and so on, or you can do it with the name and date in the text – and it just puts them in alphabetical order for you."
